Abstract
This study investigated the morphological characteristics, ecological
distribution, and natural regeneration of Camellia rubriflora in Tam Dao
National Park, northern Viet Nam. Field surveys conducted from 2023 to 2024
revealed that the species is a small, slow-growing evergreen tree occurring
mainly in low-elevation evergreen moist forests at 300–700 m a.s.l. C.
rubriflora is sparsely distributed, with very low population density and a
non-dominant role in forest stand structure. The species is closely associated
with intact forest canopies and exhibits high ecological specialization.
Natural regeneration occurs predominantly through seeds, while vegetative
regeneration is very limited. Regenerated individuals are mainly concentrated
in lower height classes, reflecting slow growth and shade tolerance. Overall,
the results indicate that C. rubriflora is highly dependent on stable
natural habitats, underscoring the urgent need for in situ conservation
combined with habitat protection and regeneration support.
